Cheers some great info- with a US twist

Thanks guy's. Bring it on !!!!

Cheers Bap Do you know of anywhere where I could research the short block? Also I know of numerous tuners, I'm guessing the usual suspects being TDI - Hear good things WRC- Jury seems to be out ABP- Jury seems to be out NS Racing- Vortechs UK distributer, but I know nothing about them Any opinions? Also how come there is such a varience in SC power output, I have seen between 380 and 412 bhP?

What's the difference?

Cheers To clarify do I have to do the internals and if so is 10K about right

So I can do the zorst (does it have to be true dual), gauges and 1 steps, but then Also have to do all the internals, as it looks like the internals will cost £10K to do alone

Fook!!! So do I need to do them?

The time is beginning to arrive when I go Forced induction. I know there are 100's of posts etc, but I won't to establish a couple of things. I am thinking of getting the Vortech SC as it seems to be the easiest and most cost effective way of going FI? I would guess from other posts I am looking at between 380 and 400 bhp, however I want to ensure that I don't have any detenation issues or engine failures when this goes forward, so I want to establish what else I need to do to make this a safe option, without having to do a complete internal re-build. I was thinking: Utec ECU New Rods New oil Pan Non stock clutch and fly wheel Custom Fuel pump Would this be a good enough set up, Budget is set at £12K, but want to avoid spending as much as possible as I want to get some 19's to improve traction Any help would be appreciated, also any rcommendations over who to do it as I am worried about some of the feedback with regards to the cowboy tuners. Cheers

mood king ???? Sorry Bap, I just thought you were a bit emotional

The plenum. Is that a special plenum for FI as it looks very different to my Kinetix one

So hence the cost per vehicle

Actually they loose around 4 million quid on each car!!!

I'm sure she loved my @rse, maybe was overwhelmed with my approach

Its a fast bad kit car, a tad pricey

Ah, but your missing th point, it's meant to look like this its based on a retro fighter look, it even has a drving hours meter.

The links do not work!!

Spotted it twice 04 Blade waved and flashed and got blanked, typical!!

Now thats what you call additional power Wednesday 8th NovemberBRISTOL UPRATES MIGHTY FIGHTER Fighter T offers 1,000-plus bhp and lb-ft of torque Bristol FighterBristol Cars is uprating the already pretty mighty Fighter. Dropped into the new Fighter T, the Viper-derived 8-litre V10 is to sprout a pair of turbochargers and an intercooler, to boost power from its current level of 525bhp and peak torque of 525lb-ft to a seriously scary 1,012bhp and 1,036lb-ft at 4,500rpm. Specific output rises to 127bhp/litre. Bristol reckoned that it was inspired by the fact that most buyers of its cars use them as "everyday transport instead of a conventional car. They also love to use them for recreational and track day purposes." And Bristol has "to its surprise" been asked for more power -- the Fighter T is the answer. Apart from the astonishing power upgrade, external changes include a diffuser at the rear which is said to cut drag to 0.27Cd. other changes include a stiffer structure, firmer springs, lower ride height by 10mm, and revised suspension geometry. Bristol reckoned that the exhausts will now exit at the side -- Viper style - although whether this will pass the regulators remains to be seen. It should prove easy to drive though. The mighty V10 is mated to a six-speed box, geared for 50mph/1,000rpm in top. The company's view is that it "does not accept the conventional view that a car this fast need sacrifice anything in the way of cosseting luxury. Indeed, by concentrating on the needs of just two people the Fighter may very well be the most luxurious Bristol we have ever built. "The exterior is clothed in hand beaten aluminium and carbon fibre bodywork. The interior is trimmed and coachbui1t to the highest standards combining the finest Wilton carpet, with extra soft leather and the luxury of extra thick soundproofing underlays. "Bristol's new Fighter is designed without the usual cost constraints and coachbuilt by proud and conscientious artisans. For the experienced and highly discerning motorist there is no better way to travel from A to B however great or small that distance may be."

Whats the chrome kinetix piece on the top?

It'll look very differen't when it hits production

I think the forum gets a deal with Dent Tec, check out the home page

Hi Yeah sorry, we've had some delays and some issues, but these have been dealt with, its important for me (and you) that the product will last, look the business and serve it's purpose, hence I have been rejecting left right and centre until it's ggod enough to go to market, which I feel it is now, I have a couple of road tests to do, ie, motorway, country lane, golf clubs and shopping to make sure everything is cool, but subject to that Mondays the day and photos will be prior to this.

Mate anythings possible if you have the money. Tonneau's will be available from Monday the 13th, photos imminent Cheers

Can you fit red stuff if you have Brembos, also is Red Stuff any good?
